Hugh Jackman x Lipton ice tea commercial

April 6, 2010 by Yein Jee

Popular Australian actor Hugh Jackman shows his dance talent in Tokyo Dancing Hotel, a Japanese-themed global advertisement for Lipton Ice Tea.

Didn’t know this but he’s a successful stage actor before making his Hollywood breakthrough with X-Men in 2000. These moves are piece of cake.

New Wolverine movie in Japan

Jackman will soon film a new Wolverine movie which is set in Japan, but I think he will shoot most of the scenes in studios and “fake” locations. For example they made this Lipton advertisement in Rio de Janeiro and not Tokyo despite the title.

Trivia: Brazil is home to the largest Japanese population outside Japan. There’s about 1.6 million people of Japanese descent in the country.

[Update 2013] Check out the official trailers for The Wolverine. As expected it’s mostly filmed outside of Japan. Many of the co-stars are Japanese though.

The lists are based on the actors’ three recent films. It’s really about having a good or bad year instead of the stars’ long term bank-ability.

On side note, three “Jennifer” on the lists, is it that common a name or mere coincidence instead?
